An amazing three-part model of New York City's Ground Zero is now on display at the Manhattan's New York City Fire Museum. The three part model by artist David Munson shows a 3D cityscape of buildings in the vicinity of Ground Zero before the Sept 11th event, immediately afterwards, and finally after all is rebuilt.

The incredibly detailed set of three 17 x 17 inch models was developed from a variety of data sources, including Google Earth, Wikipedia, photographs (some even taken by Munson himself). After composing the models in 3dsMax, AutoCAD, Sketchup and Photoshop, he was able to use a ZCorp 3D printer to produce the detailed and colorful models.

If you're in New York City, it might be worth your time to check out this display.

Kerry Stevenson, aka "General Fabb" has been writing Fabbaloo posts since he launched the venture in 2007, with an intention to promote and grow the incredible technology of 3D printing across the world. So far, it seems to be working!

Fabbaloo is a daily online publication focusing on the 3D print and additive manufacturing industries. We provide deeper analysis of developments in current and future technologies as well as corporate matters. If there’s something happening in 3D technologies, especially FDM, SLA, SLS and Stereolithography, we’ll have an opinion about it.
